最近，哈佛的一个名为 John Fish 的大二学生火遍了网络。他精准而有效的时间管理法被无数人转发。John是学计算机科学的，但他经常进行阅读、写作。因为哈佛学院的人文性较强，一向对写作比较重视，学校的宗旨就是让学生全面发展，成为社会中更有价值的一员。说起对于人生的认识，John认为：“经过深入思考，要为自己设立一个大目标，然后将大目标分解成阶段性的小目标。之后规划好实现每个小目标的时间，然后抓紧时间进行，就能得到连贯而快乐的过程。”

【背景介绍】

有人认为，早上的贪睡，可能形成雪球效应，打乱你一天的工作、生活和学习，让你的效率低下。但在哈佛学霸小哥哥John Fish眼里，多睡一会儿不算什么。是不是觉得这种想法很新鲜？那么多睡一会儿的小哥哥要怎么安排自己被打乱的一天呢？小哥哥说自己才不是天生高效的人，关于坚持高效学习，他有自己独到的方法。

【双语演讲稿】

Yesterday had all the makings of an unproductive day. My alarm went off and I hit the snooze button for the first time in weeks, I think that the first thing that you do every morning sets the tone for the rest of the day. That's why I try and start every morning productively.

昨天是一个毫无收获的一天。我的闹钟响了，我按下了几周以来的第一个再睡一会儿的按钮。我认为，你每天早上做的第一件事为一天的其他时间定下了基调。这就是为什么我试着每天早上都有成效地开始。

But when you hit the snooze button, you start the day by giving up. For me, this has a snowball effect. By the time that I get out of bed, my schedule has already been derailed, so what can it hurt to fall a little bit more behind?

但是，当你按下再睡一会儿的按钮时，你就以放弃的方式开始新的一天。对我来说，这有一个雪球效应。当我从床上爬起来时，我的日程表已经偏离轨道了，所以再落下一点又有什么关系呢？

To be clear, it's not that I was actually tired or that I really needed the rest, I've been sleeping well, and I was honestly genuinely excited to do fun work yesterday, and you can see that in my previous video. I just sabotage myself. And so it would have been really easy to just write a day off yesterday.

说白了，并不是我真的累了，也不是我真的需要休息，我一直睡得很好，而且说实话，昨天我真的很兴奋地做着有趣的工作，你可以在我之前的视频中看到。我只是打乱了自己的节奏，从一开始就把一天打发掉是很容易的。

But I have things to do, I had goals to achieve, and I think most importantly though, there were people that were holding me accountable to those goals.

但是如果有目标有实现，我认为最重要的是有人要求我对这些目标负责。

If I didn’t make a video, then you guys, the audience, would hold me accountable for that. You would wonder where the video was, and I break the streak that I am holding myself to be accountable. And I think it‘s countable for right now, which I think is the 10 days now, and if I didn’t go to my work out, well, my friends and my coaches want to hold me accountable to that.

如果没有制作视频，那么你们这些观众会让我负责，你们想知道视频在哪里，而我能够打消这段堕落期，现在我要为自己负责，已经10天了，如果没有去好好锻炼，教练和朋友们会让我负责。

And so I had to snap out of it. So I made a video, I edited and I uploaded this video, and you know it was it wasn't a masterpiece, but it wasn't awful. And I went to my workout and I crushed it, and that was my goal, and, you know, it was tough, but mentally I just I’ve made the decision, you know what, there are people holding me accountable to this, I'm going to hold myself accountable to this, and I am not gonna give up on that.

所以我必须迅速摆脱这段堕落期，我只做了这个视频，剪辑好，然后上传了他，你们知道的这个视频质量不怎么样，但也不是很糟。接下来的锻炼在我的日程中被挤掉了，但是我的目标只有点难办，但从心理上说我已经做出了决定，有人让我对此负责，我就会让自己对此负责，而且不会放弃。

So I feel like this is an important video to make because I think people have this unrealistic notion about my ability to fight off this unproductivity, it's like people think that there‘s an initiate ability that some people have and some people don’t, and that‘s not true.

我觉得制作这部视频是重要的。人们对我对摆脱低效率的能力，有一些不现实的想法。他们认为有的人天生拥有别人没有人能力，这并不是真的。

Because productivity is not a skill. To me, I see productivity as being a state of mind that's triggered by external factors, and you can control this factor. But I want to also make a note that it's really really important that you actually listen to your body in this, OK?

因为高效不是一项技能，在我看来高效是一种状态，他是由外部因素引发的，你可以控制这些因素，但是也可以制造这些因素，重要的是你要听从自己的身体。

Because if you‘re not getting enough sleep, then you will not be able to do a productive focused work at all, OK? That’s just the fact of life, especially if you are working out, if you are working out and you are not getting 8 to 9 hours of sleep that night, then you‘re just falling further and further behind.

因为没有得到足够的睡眠，就根本不能高效专注的工作，好吧。这只是生活中的一个事实，尤其是在工作的时候，如果你在这时你没有做到晚上睡八到九个小时，那么就越来越落后了。

And in my opinion, on nine hours of sleep, I can do in one hour what I could do in two hours on six hours of sleep, OK? That’s a really big difference. Because that means that it only takes three hours of focus work, to catch up.

在我看来，睡九个小时，我一个小时就能完成的工作，睡六个小时，两个小时才能完成，这就是一个很大的差异。这意味着你只需要三个小时专注工作就可以弥补很多睡眠。

And so, I think a lot of people have this misconception about sleeping being a waste of time, it's not! Because you're more productive when you're well rested. I guess that's my secret to productivity.

我认为很多人，有种误解，认为睡眠是浪费时间。这是不对的。因为当你休息好的时候你的效率就会提高，我想这是我提高效率的秘诀。

If you put yourself in a position, first of all, where you're physically capable in focused work where you're well rested, you're eating well, you're exercising, if you understand that the factors that trigger you into productivity, so what makes you want to work hard, what makes you want to just chase your goals when you wake up in the morning, so what works for you, and having other people keep you accountable as well, that is super important as well.

如果你让自己处于高效状态，首先你的身体要能够集中精力工作。你要休息好，吃的好，注意锻炼，如果你明白自己进入高效状态的因素，能让自己想要努力工作，想着早上起来追逐你的目标，你就找到了对自己有用的因素，当然让其他人监督你也是非常重要的。

Because you need to be hungry for work, you need to have other people that keep you hungry for that work, and I think that if you do that, you can gradually set bigger and bigger goals and accomplish them at the last time, and just genuinely become more productive.

因为你需要对工作的渴望，你需要有其他人让你对这项工作感到渴望。做到这些就可以逐渐设定更大的目标，最终完成目标。恰恰是这样的人通常会更加高效。
